Job Description

About The RoleWe are looking for an enthusiastic HR Advisor who has either gained or is working towards an HR or payroll qualification (for example, Level 3 CIPD or CIPP). This is a full-time maternity cover, expected to end in November 2026.



Sport England is a large and vibrant organisation tasked with helping people across England live active lives, but you don't need to be sporty or know the off-side rule to join us!



In this role, you will contribute to a range of people-related matters, including payroll and benefits administration, recruitment and employee lifecycle. You can expect a varied day-to-day and will be part of a supportive and knowledgeable team.



You will need a keen eye for detail and knowledge of payroll processes and systems. You will also have an ability to provide advice to stakeholders across the organisation, supporting on delivering recruitment processes in a collaborative way.



Further information on the role, as well as the benefits of working at Sport England, can be found in the job pack and description. If you are keen to take the next step in your HR career, contributing to our ambitious 10-year strategy, we would love to hear from you.


Interviews are expected to take place at our London office during w/c 27th October.


Sport England recognises the positive value of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination. We welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds, particularly where we are under-represented. Currently, this includes disabled people and those from Black, Asian and minority ethnic groups.



About UsAt Sport England, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of sport and physical activity - regardless of age, gender, background, bank balance or post code. We are an arm's length body responsible for growing and developing grassroots sport and helping more people get active across England - around two thirds of our funding comes from players of The National Lottery, with the remainder coming from the Exchequer.



Our work is driven by Uniting the Movement, a 10-year strategy focused on tackling inequalities and creating positive experiences of sport and physical activity for all. From funding local community initiatives to influencing national policy, we work in partnership with organisations and individuals who share our vision of an active nation where everyone feels able to take part and be active in a way that works for them.
